ABSTRACT:
An article of sportswear formed by a composite fabric which, when worn by an athlete undergoing strenuous physical activity, functions to regulate the factors giving rise to perspiration and evaporative cooling in a manner conductive to optimum performance. The composite fabric which is foraminated to afford air ventilation is composed of a hydrophobic inner layer in contact with the skin of the wearer and a hydrophilic outer layer exposed to the atmosphere. The inner layer is formed of non-absorbing fibers which act to convey perspiration away from the skin to the second layer, these fibers having a black pigmentation to absorb infrared energy emitted by the wearer. The second layer is formed of absorbent fibers functioning to absorb the perspiration conveyed thereto and to disperse this perspiration throughout the exposed surface thereof to promote evaporative cooling at a controlled rate. The surface of the outer layer is metallized to reflect incident light and thereby minimize solar heating of the athlete.
